Until within @ few years intemper-
ance has been one of the greatest foes
to the lives Of the Puget Sound Indians,
The Clallam head chief, Lord Jim
Balch, said q few years ago that five
hundred Indians had been killed with
in twenty years by the saloons of Dun
genness. This is probably an exagger-
alton, nevertheless the mortality has
been very great. Consumption and
the diseases consequent upon dissipa-
tion have caused the death OF a large
number. At an early day smallpox
killed many, while whooping cough
and the measles have swept off many
OF the children. All of these diseases,
except consumpt on, which is caused
largely by the damp climate, have been
introduced by the whites. Many have
died from diseases caused by the tran
sition from savage to civilized life.
Especially has this been the case
among the children. A permanent
house with floor is built for them.
The old-fashioned house with the
ground for floor drank up the grease
as it was spilled, and if it became too
filthy it was easily removed q short
uiStance, uub bno new uOuSo 10 Ioo COot-
ly to be removed, while its floor, which
has far too much dirt, grease and sail
va, cannot absorb it, and poisonous
air emanates therefrom which often
causes the little ones, weak by nature,
who have to live in it, to waste away,
even when it is difficult to tell what
sease has hold of them. Thus many
have died. They naturally love to be
in the water or to go somewhere, even
though it may rain heavily. When
they went barefoot this was felt but
little, but when they put on socks and
other clothes, and wet them, they are
not always careful to dry them, and so
colds, rheumatism and consumption
are far more common and fatal than
when they were uncivilized.-Ameri-
can antiquarian.

INGULFED IN A MINE.

Strange Accident I'm Florida, by Which
Two Lives Were Lost
Nm cxtraorurnary uccfuouv rvporvcu NY
special telegram from Ocala, Fla, as having
occurred near South Lake Weir:
Oscar Shogrene lived near there, his house
being built on the edge OF a "sink"-deep circu-
lar holes in the ground. These are formations
peculiar to Florida Some are dry, while 9TH
ers are filled with water and seem bottomless.
Many times the bottoms OF the dry ones fall
out with roar and water rushes in.
Last Monday night while Shogrene and his
family were eating supper, a strange sound
like falling earth was heard, and the rear of
his house began to totter. The frightened in
mates ran for their lives, and all escaped ex-
cept Shogrenes daughter and a colored servant
who were caught the house was ingulfed.
The terrified man and woman ran to their
neighbors, and a party soon gathered. 1t was
then found that the bottom of the sink had
dropped out, tearing tons OF earth from the side
and carrying down a large portion of the house.
No trace could be found of the bodies nor of the
house fragments. Two big pines standing on
the brink had also disappeared. The water
was turbid and agitated for hours afterward.
No bottom could be found by using long lines.
The settlers surrounding are very much
alarmed at the mysterious occurrence.

Importance OF Drawing.

The young men of our machine
shops, carpenters, and many Others do
not realize the Importance of drawing
in connection with their work.
Compare the mere handicraftsman
that makes chair to sit in, bed to
lie on, a house to live in, in fact, gives
us what we must have in order to exist,
with the skilled mechanic; he intro
duces into his work higher element,
makes the chair, bed or house more
shapely and pleasing, adds beauty to
utility, and makes it thing of beauty,
irrespective of its use, and theref re
for this reason have taste and knowl-
>l~.e - l-~..-:-e, :-~-->11 eos.nt~;os--ho-
come the first conditions of their indus
tries and the most potent factors of
their wealth.
Drawing is practically useful to all,
as it teaches them to observe, quickens
the perceptive faculties, increases the
power of the eye, and is the one Ian
guage mankind has retained in COM
mon.
Thrice armed is he who can use the
pencil to illustrate as we'll as the pen
and tongue to describe, for though he
may try to explain for an hour with the
tongue without success, it is the pencil
that explains quicker than any of his
words.
Too much cannot be said about the
Importance it is to the mechanic, for it
raises him from the mere machine, fol-
lowing in the path laid out for him, to
the master mind, with power to create
and carry cut new ideas and thoughts.
In fact, the correct answer to the ques-
ton, "What is the proper definition of
a skilled mechanic?" would be, "A
mechanic who knows how to draw, and,
thanks to such knowledge, has quad
rupled the value of his labor to him
self and the community at large. ~

Unreasonable Flowers and Fruit.

A check in the growth of trees,
caused by disease, injury in transplant
ing, insect enemies, or unfavorable
weather, will often give rise to flowers
being produced out of season. And,
again, a more than ordinarily vigorous
growth will produce q second crop of
flowers. Many plants form their flow
er buds early in the season, and the
growth of the tree may be checked by
drouth or other cause. Then later on,
a more favorable turn of weather will
force second growth, and occasionally
force open the flower buds that were
formed earlier. 1t is quite possible,
too, that q second series of flower buds
may be formed that will open later in
the season than those formed earlier.
This will, if true, explain many exam
Piles apparently not to be explained in
other ways. The small spring flower
ing plants, like the strawberry, violet
and hepatica, form the buds for the
coming season in the summer and fall,
and few fine days will force them into
bloom before their season. Then,
again, the growth of such plants may
be retarded, or O plant that started
from seed late in the season will not
fully perfect flower buds until spring.
Such plants will bloom later in the sea-
son than usual.
There are many things in nature not
yet understood, and every gardener can
do his share toward making them
palmer by observing any unusual ac-
ton in the plants under his charge and
seeking an explanation. Too often
these variations are looked upon as go
ing outside the field of horticulture and
into Ahat of tho botaniat- Thara ahould
be no distinction between the two, both
are working in the same field, and when
both work together more systemati-
cally, more valuable results will be
obtained. Yick's MdQdzi1le.
